I AM BEAUTIFUL

One day on my personal Facebook page I saw a "friend" post about how her daughter said that mommy was pretty. She posted that she told her daughter, No I am not but thank you. I was SHOCKED. I don't think people realize what they say to their children, especially daughters, does to their future self esteem. If my mommy isn't pretty, I must not be either. 

I came across this post thanks to another friend last night and I had to share it. PLEASE remember how much you affect your children with your words!!
